   Hello,

   I am a very casual wordpress blogger, and after some life changes in 2009, my blog was idle for a couple of years. A few days ago, I logged back in, updated wordpress and posted a couple of test blogs. Everything seemed to be working well, but there is a problem with the RSS feeds.

   The feed itself located at http://coldleftovers.com/feed and shows all posts, new and old.

   However, the new posts don’t show up in any RSS readers (google reader) or on a published feed located at http://130.18.228.15/Hesi/hesialt/services.html or in Facebook notes, where they are supposed to be being imported.

   Originally I was using feedburner to manage my feeds, along with the feedsmith WP plugin, but I quit using it, although the feedburner link still works (though it doesn’t show the most recent posts) http://feeds.feedburner.com/coldleftovers

   I have no idea how to fix this. Any ideas?

   Thanks,

   WordPress can only generate the feed. It can't control other feed aggregators or readers. Have you tried validating the feed file?

   Yes and the feed is valid. I am not using feedburner, but I wanted to mention it in case there was a conflict, or if a feedburner workaround was possible.

   the /feed and /feed/rss pages show up and are updated perfectly, but no external publication of either of those feeds will show posts from the past few days.

   Could perhaps be the result of the extended period of no posts. The bots have flagged the site as "inactive" and the feed aggregators aren't picking it up now. I'd try submitting a sitemap to Google to get this site back onto the active list again, then wait a couple of weeks to see if the problem resolves itself.
